Trusts & Estates:
A well-drafted trust and estate plan can help reduce or even avoid a probate proceeding. Probate is a court-supervised process that transfers property from the deceased person, also known as the “decedent,” to the decedent’s heirs and beneficiaries. Probate can be time consuming and costly. It is important to keep your estate plan updated as you accumulate assets.
